A hilarious movie we don't see enough of these days, NoHardFeelings proves Jennifer Lawrence is a comedy powerhouse. Our review:
Jennifer Lawrence is funny. I don't think that's too hard to argue. After her breakout roles in Winter's Bone and The Hunger Games, she became the talk of the town with her Oscar-winning role in Silver Linings Playbook. Lawrence won over our hearts with her down-to-earth personality, her blunt yet charming sense of humor, and her willingness to show, despite quickly becoming one of the biggest names in the industry, at the end of the day she's human.
The story itself has that feel of American Pie meets There's Something About Mary, and, much like those films, it's about as predictable as they come. You can't fault the film too much for that either, there's really only so much it can do, and at times the more cliché nature works to its benefit. It feels like comfort food and that special kind of comedy that you'll want to watch over and over again.
Andrew Barth Feldman also shines bright as Percy, the young male lead. He pulls off playing an insecure and awkward college freshman in a way that feels authentic but also can go toe-to-toe onscreen with someone like Lawrence. The chemistry the two stars share is charming and even endearing at times. This is not in the sense that the audience will want to see them actually get together romantically, but because their onscreen friendship feels so natural.
